AYRT
Flashy was a feature not a bug for me. Also I am stupid, okay okay, not doing sarcastic sorry. But I've never considered original stories that clever. They are fun and I love them but they are not that smart that I need modern take to be super smart.

I am not bitter that people didn't like it. It's OK, it's just a show. Especially since I dropped it half way so I have no hill to die on. But I am annoyed by takes when people somehow think that they are superior for not liking something.

Well, I'm so annoyed by the take that if I can't enjoy stupid media, it's because I'm so arrogant.

Like. I would honestly love to have lower standards. There are so many shows out there with fun premises and good characters that I cannot sit through because the writing is just too clumsy and it ruins it for me. There are a few extremely dumb things that are so perfectly my shit (Dominion, Jupiter Ascending) that I can "turn my brain off" and just enjoy it, but I don't begrudge other people for saying that they're dumb. They are!

Anyway Sherlock was fun, if you're into that kind of snark. But it was also dumb. So dumb. I figured out the twist of the first episode about 40 minutes in (and no, I hadn't read the originals at that time), realized the writing was a hack job, and never even watched episode 2. Let people who were exasperated by an inescapable phenomenon for years feel a little vindicated without taking it personally, damn.

NAYRT but I'm sorry... you do kind of come off as arrogant here. Or at least pretentious.
